DETACHABLE SHOE FOR LANDSIDES OF PLOW'S.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VILLTAM H. Len, ofSyracuse. in the county of Onondaga and State of few York. have inventeda certain new and useful Detachable Shoe for the I ELDClSlClGS of Flows,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to plows. and has for its object a detachable shoeor hcel piece for the landsides of plows. and it consists in thecombinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawing. in which like characters designate corresponding parts in allthe views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plow provided with my invention. Fig.2 is an enlarged inner face view of the shoe or heelpiece for thelandside and contiguous parts. Fig. 3 is a plan of the detached shoe.Figs. 41: and 5 are, respectively. inverted plan and front view thereof.

1 is the frame 2 the inoldboard. 3 the detachable point. 4 the landside.and 5 the brace of my plow, all of which parts may be of any desirableform. size and construction.

(3 is the shoe or heel-piece for the landside 4. this shoe being locatednear the rear end of the landsidc and having its advance end G spacedapart from the point 3 in a direction lengthwise of the landside andlocated at the rear of said point 3 the portion of the lower edge of thelandside between the point and the advance end of the shoe beingnorinally disposed above the lower supporting faces of said point andshoe. thus causing the plow to hear at two separated points. viz: thepoint 3 and the heelpiece 6. The shoe 6 is provided with a ledge 7arranged directly beneath and supporting the lower edge of the rearportion of the landside 1. and with upwardly extending lugs 8. 9 spacedapart from each other. one in advance of the other. the inner faces ofthese lugs being arranged above, and at substantially a right angle to.the ledge 7 and being designed to engage the inner face of the landside.One of these lugs as the rear lug 9 has formed in the surface thereofcontiguous to the landside a channel 10 for receiving the lower end ofthe brace 5. Fig. 2. said brace having its upper end fixed to the innerface of the mold-board.

As best seen in Figs. 1 and 2 the shoe is Specification of LettersPatent.

detachably secured in position by a bolt 11 extending transverselythrough the front lug 8 and the landside. and an additional bolt 12extending through the rear lug 9. the lower end of the brace 5 and thelandside. By securing the shoe to the landside. as dcscribed. a singlebolt serves to fasten both the bra cc and the rear end of the shoe tothe landside.

The shoe is formed with a lengthwise laterally extending flange 13,Figs. 1. 3, 4: and 5 of greater length than width for cutting under theunplowed land. the outer side edge of the flange being of materiallyless length than the base of the flange. the front and rear edges of theflange extending in opposite directions towa rd the vertical plane ofthe landside of the plow. said front edge extending forwardly from apoint about midway the length of the flange. the upper surface of theflange being concave and. converging upwardly toward the outer side ofthe led 7 from substantially the outer side edge of the flange 13. andthe flange gradually thickening from its front end toward its rear end,it being the thickest at 14:. and the lower face of the flange beingflush with the lower face of the contiguous portion of the shoe. Thegradual thickening or swelling of the flange from its front end causesthe shoe to be forced downwardly into the land and counteracts thetendency of the shoe and landside to raise out of the furrow.

As best seen in F l: and 5. the shoe 6 is formed with a flat lower facehaving its front portion decreasing in width 't()"fl1(l its front endand extending upwardly toward such end. and is also formed at the innerside of the front end of its lower portion with an undercutsubstantially lengthwise surface 15 extending rearwardly toward theinner side and lower face of the shoe and also extending rcarwardlybeyond the rear end of said front portion of the lower face of the shoe.

A shoe constructed and arranged as described tcnds to readily ride overthe bottom of the furrow and to deflect bv the surface 15 to the innerside of the landside. any stones. loose earth. etc.. which wouldotherwise tend to lift. the rear end of the plow and thus effect anundesirable change in the position thereof. Said shoe is thusparticularly advantageous in that it relieves the landside of most ofthe wear thereon, may

be easily removed and'replaced at small expense and facilitates themaintenance of the position of the plow.
